BLOGS are an EASY way to use technology and to propel your teaching. I have over 100 BLOGS that I follow- but that can be overwhelming. Follow the BLOGS you like with Google Reader!

It sends NEW BLOG posts into an INBOX! Simple and easy- like email! Read when you want to and always know when there is a NEW POST!
